21 November Tuesday

Wow, I’m really hungry. What do I want to eat? The horrible days before Thanksgiving. A turkey that’s taking up so much space in the fridge there is room for little else. You may have seen that brief post with the pumpkin cheesecake, which is still good and waning in the fridge. This stuff has got to go if I’m gonna get a move on with that Thanksgiving dinner. No room in the freezer, no room in the fridge. That’s a problem.

See, before ya have fun and get to cookin all them yummy foods, you need to clean and clear out, and get everything ready, and go get the food. It’s the crappy part. NO, I will be of good cheer.

But here’s the exciting part. A kitchen full of treasures. I’ve decided to do a few different things this year. We’re gonna start with pumpkin. Pumpkin soup, served in the pumpkin. I have a rich and wonderful chicken/vegetable broth that will go beautifully in the pumpkin, a nice, light starter. Then, for dessert, I am going to do a Cranberry and Raspberry tart. To get our pumpkin spice fix, sweet potato casserole. Then the usual, turkeystuffinggravymashedpotatoescranberrysauce. It really is just one dish.
